I have just upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.0.1. The upgrade has overwritten some of the custom tweaks I added to my previous installation, so you may notice some minor differences (date format, etc). I plan on re-tweaking the .php files again, so things should return to normal soon.
The upgrade was performed with DreamHost’s Web Panel, which recently added a feature to seamlessly upgrade various installed programs, including WordPress. As I’ve said before, I’m impressed with DreamHost.
Annoyance #1: The Rich Text Editor does not appear to work correctly in Firefox:
- Manually entered <a href=”"> tags get converted to <a xhref=”">, which don’t work.
- The toolbar does not appear.
I’m used to working in HTML, so this isn’t a showstopper, but it is annoying that an available feature that I would use doesn’t work correctly in Firefox. (Note: this annoyance has been entered using the Rich Text Editor in Internet Explorer as a test.)
Annoyance #2: Posts I had marked as Private are appearing again. Update: Actually, they only appear if I’m logged in. OK, that makes sense.
Annoyance #3: I haven’t found a way so specify the size of the thumbnail generated when uploading a picture on the Write Post page.
